The best thing to come from the new Star Wars show The Mandalorian, so far, is Baby Yoda. The internet is OBSESSED with this little green alien. In Baby Yoda's first appearance, we are told it is 50 years old. WHAT? That made my Theorist brain go crazy! A 50 year old toddler is the worst evolutionary cycle I have ever seen or heard. It got me thinking, what does the lifespan of a Yoda look like and what does that mean for the future of Baby Yoda - and all Yodas? Time to find out!

    Baby Yoda: - Do not feed after midnight - Do not let it get contact with water - Do not expose to bright sunlight.
  • @musikSkool
    So that is why Yoda's race isn't fazed when they see a powerful force ability, just taking care of their own toddlers requires a lot of force proficiency.
  • @EvonneSol
    Another thing of importance to point out here: we know for a fact that a massive war happened a thousand years ago, which wiped out a lot of Force-sensitive individuals within the Star Wars universe. If we include that, it starts looking like the war wiped out most of Yoda's species, and he was born after the war, to some of their last surviving members. Of course, that doesn't explain where baby Yoda came from, but it's possible they're just barely clinging on at the fringes of society. And then we need to consider the fact that the Empire actively hunted down Force sensitives and likely killed them. Yoda's people are so ancient and so long-lived they've probably experienced several of these extinction events, caused by conflict within the Jedi and the Sith, or between the two groups.
  • MatPat: "I currently own a toddler" Steph: Why is the FBI here?
  • “I’ve always hated that song” Ok Vader like we didn’t just seen you breaking out them sick dance moves
  • Now, thanks to season 2, we know what his name is. Plus we learned more about his backstory and development. Our baby Yoda experienced some regression to his force, and probably other cognitive abilities cause of some trauma after order 66... he probably experienced some shocking events...

    technically the tridactyls use the force as we use hands. They are so force sensitive that as we would hit a stormtrooper they would throw him away 3 meters
  • @samanthae.1002
    “I currently own a toddler” i think the toddler owns you

    11:36 “baby tridactyls aren’t able to take care of themselves” Baby Yoda: *devours frogs*
